See http://questforglory.wikia.com/wiki/Pizza_Elemental.<br /><br />However, according to mobygames, Spellcasting 101 and Quest for Glory 2 came out in the same year (1990), so Steve Meretzky would not have played QG2 prior to writing SC101. (QG2 released in Nov. 1990.) We likely talked to Steve at GDC in March or April 1990, but most likely we both came up with the idea of food/pizza as the fifth classical element independently. Meretzky is a very funny man.Corey Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772474266362396768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-33940076683858402432015-01-18T03:45:20.927+11:002015-01-18T03:45:20.927+11:00Caption contest:
